I didn't like it. I thought it was over-exaggerated with the way they did it. I know it's supposed to be like a myth but it was all just slow-mo, yelling, and music played whenever anything happened if it ever stopped. Troy was a way better movie. The fight sceanes would have been cool if there weren't any close ups of the bloody spearhead. And what was with that lady jerkin around all wierd like that? Some of the fight sceanes were cool, I liked the part w/ the silver faced ppl. It just seems that they tried to make this movie really epic, but they over did it with just about everything. My 2 cents.

I know it wasn't a myth, but it was based on the myth part of the story.

/stabs cpo335 in the bicep. To each his own, it was mostly riding on the "epic" gimmick, but I bought right into it. I love stuff like that and the setpieces of the Lord of the Rings movies (Helms Deep, etc.)

i have to agree, it was pretty stupid. they had NINJAS (who sounded like darth vader) in ancient greece. And they made Xerxes into a 7-foot tall pride parade reject. And it made the spartans into defenders of when they were an authoritarian society based off of slavery. Also the slow-mo made me gag.  And Im sure peter jackson is ready to sue whoever made the trader look like golem with a 90 pound tumor on his back. and i suppose the spartans were using the old technique of no body-armor.. its like reverse phycology... or something.  And the spartans totting tight leather pants and flashy capes are calling the thespians gay?!?:)

they werent ninjas, and they made that sound becasue they had masks. Xerxes looked like he did becasue he thought he was a good so they made him look as if he thought he was the most beautiful person on earth. And they were defending their country and all of greece againest an army that was trying to conquer the world. Whether they had slaves or not doesnt matter, they did not try conquering everything like the persians.

hes a king, in every war movie, when standing in front of alot of men, the leader yells. He cant sound like a pansy, and he cant be to calm. He wants to sound angry, to get the men pumped up.

Hey good job on respecting other people's opinions, I've lost all respect for you when I read that sentance. Havn't you learned that all people are different? Besides, most of our info on Troy was taken from the Illiad written by Homer (a blind poet), so don't expect it to be entirerly believable or realistic.

And the 300 Spartans weren't like an army of Achilles, not by a long shot.

300 was a great movie IMO.  It followed the comic book, and wasn't suppossed to be a history lesson. 

Troy though?  You really found Troy to be better?  I hated Troy, and found 300 to be far better, especially the acting.

  I never said the Illiad was realistic, I said the movie Troy was BAD.

So learn to tolerate others opinions.

  When its widely agreed that Troy was a subpar movie?  What now I am not allowed to say when someone has bad tastes?  When there were dumb logical pit falls like rushing 50 ft walls with nothing but a shield and sword/spear..  Where were they planning to do when they reach the wall?  Poke it till it falls?  Sorry to say but Troy WAS a subpar movie.

 Top that buddy why does it matter if Achillies wasn't as good as the Spartans or vice Versa IT WAS fictional, for all we know Achillies possibly could never have existed or was widely exgerated..

If you had seen the movie, you'd know that the Main character (Leonidus) is soft spoken outside of the battle scenes.

   Yeah lol I lost respect when he hinted that Troy was a good a movie.. That being said the whole Immortal thing, they never talked buddy other then some grunts... Also the immortals were similar to real live in the sense they wore  blakc shroud over their head completely covering any features or colors of their face..

Hey good job on respecting other people's opinions, I've lost all respect for you when I read that sentance. Havn't you learned that all people are different? Besides, most of our info on Troy was taken from the Illiad written by Homer (a blind poet), so don't expect it to be entirerly believable or realistic.

And the 300 Spartans weren't like an army of Achilles, not by a long shot.

  I never said the Illiad was realistic, I said the movie Troy was BAD.

So learn to tolerate others opinions.

  When its widely agreed that Troy was a subpar movie?  What now I am not allowed to say when someone has bad tastes?  Where there were dumb logical pit falls like rushing 50 ft walls with nothing but a shield and sword/spear..  Where were they planning to do when they reach the wall?  Poke it till it falls?  Sorry to say but Troy WAS a subpar movie.

I could say the same thing about the Spartans in this movie. And besides, I only said Troy aws a better movie.

I didn't like it. I thought it was over-exaggerated with the way they did it. I know it's supposed to be like a myth but it was all just slow-mo, yelling, and music played whenever anything happened if it ever stopped. Troy was a way better movie. The fight sceanes would have been cool if there weren't any close ups of the bloody spearhead. And what was with that lady jerkin around all wierd like that? Some of the fight sceanes were cool, I liked the part w/ the silver faced ppl. It just seems that they tried to make this movie really epic, but they over did it with just about everything. My 2 cents.

[QUOTE="RobXIII"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"][QUOTE="RobXIII"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]

[QUOTE="RobXIII"]ok i haven't seen it, but the ad itself looked farily overblown. why is everything ROARED!!!Donkey_Puncher

its war, do you want him to go..um listen up guys we are gonna face some really bad men, they are really bad, so like lets go kick some butt.

wots wrong with that? if i was a soldier in sparta i'd be all like, "alright man, i get it, say it, don't spray it, i'm probably going to die soon so at least leave me the use of my ears so i can better defend myself and stuff."

hes a king, in every war movie, when standing in front of alot of men, the leader yells. He cant sound like a pansy, and he cant be to calm. He wants to sound angry, to get the men pumped up.

i understand roaring before a battle, but ya know. i can imagine that guy sitting down to dinner with his family and just going: "PASS THE SALT!! THE SALT OF HELLLL!!!!!"

If you had seen the movie, you'd know that the Main character (Leonidus) is soft spoken outside of the battle scenes.

yes, its only when addressing his men before battle that he yells, which every leader does.

Wow...you must have been asleep...or just not paying attention (girl in a magical trance/jerkin around all weird). It's alright, bud. Just watch it at an Imax theater. You can't fall asleep unless you're narcoleptic or something. :wink: The movie's fight scenes were superb, I didn't care much about the flasehoods of the historical references.
